I gave up on waiting for a solution and just deleted everything I had and started over.
3.3.3 is running.. but post by email still will not accept the
username:password

it gives this message

Notice: Undefined index: Alternative in /users/web/andyaye/web/blogs/cron/getmail.php on line 533

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /users/web/andyaye/web/blogs/cron/getmail.php on line 533

Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /users/web/andyaye/web/blogs/cron/getmail.php on line 579
Authentication failed for user .

in getmail.php there is no line 533 or line 579

it gets the emails, but craps out because of the
username:password

help would be appreciated
thanks

If there's no 533 || 579 in /cron/getmail.php then you have a corrupt file ;)

/cron/getmail.php lines 530 -> 580

Are you sending your emails as html or plain-text ?

Ack, just read the code, you're sending as html and it's *possibly* a bug.

Change this section of that code ( lines 532 -&& 533 )

		// mail is html
		if( $parsedMIME['Type'] == 'html' ){

To :

		// mail is html
		if( $parsedMIME['Type'] == 'html' && isset( $parsedMIME['Alternative'] ) ){

and 543 -> 544 from :

		// mail is plain text
		elseif( $parsedMIME['Type'] == 'text' )

to :

		// mail is plain text
		elseif( $parsedMIME['Type'] == 'text' || !isset( $parsedMIME['Alternative'] ) )

Thanks..
I changed the email sending client which had a tab for text
and it reports success.

I have unticked the "test" box and updated..
but it still reports that it is in test mode

You configured test mode in the settings or set $test to 2. Nothing will be posted to the database/mediastore nor will your inbox be altered.

where is the setting to have it post?

and could you advise where the setting is for it to check for email postings?
Is that in the test setting? such as once a day?

second,
I made the changes above, and tried html..
now it fails at 578 where it tries to explode from the colon..
